There I was, an ordinary 15 year old girl, flirting again over a cute guy at the end of the lunch table. My heart beat was pounding whenever his eyes are looking right at me. Wait a minute, am i dreaming? His eyes were really looking at me! I turn my head away, blushing. Suddenly, the school bell rang and everyone rush back to their class.
Everyone screamed when they got the news that the teacher was absent. Except for me. I was day dreaming about him. Jake Johnson Terry, the most cutest and the most popular guy in Ramstein High School. Well, what do I know about him? Most of the girls in my school got a crush on him and i heard that he just broke up with Claire last night. Finally, it was my chance.
Someone knock me on my head while I was day dreaming about Jake. I turn my head around, it was my best friend Chloe. My only best friend. The others are in the popular group. The group of Claire, the most popular girl in Ramstein High School. "Day dreaming about Jake again huh?" Said Chloe while moving a chair to sit beside me. I told Chloe what have happened during recess time just now. "Well, you should do something! he's looking right at you that's mean he's got a feeling about you." "I don't know, Chloe.. how can such a popular guy will love me?" "Nothing is impossible, Kate."
Dear Jake,
I got a crush on you ever since January. You are so cute.
I know that i'm not popular like other girls. No matter what,
Could you please reply me? I want to know your answer.
I hope that we could try to be together.
I am so sorry if this is such a sudden.
I will be waiting for you at the school library after school.
Sincerely,
Kate.
There, i started to write a love letter without thinking. I told myself that i can do it. I put that letter into his locker. I saw him from a distance and hide behind the wall. "Please don;t check your locker, please don't check your locker" i whisper to myself. He opened his locker and the letter drop to the floor. One of his friend pick it up and hand to him. "oh god, damn!"
He open the letter and read it out loud, he was surrounded by his friends. I was embarrassed and i run to the school library. I saw Chloe at the table there reading books with Joshua. They've been dating for months already. "Chloe!! Help me!" I shouted. Everyone in the library except for me said "Ssshhhhh.." While putting a finger on the lips.
I sat beside Chloe and whispered "I wrote a letter and put into Jake's locker. I saw him reading out loud. It was so embarrassing that all of his friends read it too! I bet he's on the way to the library.. or not." "Chill, Girl! Just get a book and be as normal as you can. Until he appear. alright? Now go get a book, Kate."
I went searching for a random book from the rack then I saw Jake walking in alone. My heart was pounding. This time, i thought that i would die of a heart attack. His blue eyes, searching for me. "What to do, what to do!" I whisper to myself. Without thinking, i walk to his direction. "Hi Jake." That's what came out from my mouth. "What's up Kate. I uh.. saw this letter you wrote to me.." Said Jake, showing the letter i wrote to him just now. "Yeah.." That's all i could say. "So, uh.. Kate? This is for you. I uh.. gotta go. My friends are waiting for me. So.. see you." He hand me a letter and walk outside the library.
I open the letter and read..
Dear Kate,
Thanks. You're beautiful. Of course i don't mind
having an ordinary girl as my girlfriend instead of the
"popular" ones. I would like to have you as my girlfriend.
Meet me during recess time tomorrow.
Got anything, call me. 04-67548921.
Love,
Jake.
I was so happy! I show the letter to Chloe with excitement. Chloe was happy for me. "You know, Kate, you should watch out for Jake since he's your boyfriend now." Warned Joshua. "Why?" I gasped. "Lots of girls are hurt by him. He's kinda a player." "I trust him!" "Whatever. You choice anyway."
When i got home, i'm worried about what Joshua said today. "Whatever it is, Jake is my boyfriend. My first boyfriend. I choose to trust him." I said to myself.
It's recess time, i saw Jake at the same table. I pull Chloe's hand to where he was. "Hi Jake" I wave. "Hey, Kate. What's up? Oh, let me introduce my girlfriend, Kate." He introduce me to all of his friends. I Nod my head and smile at them.
I sat beside Jake. He put his arm around me. Chloe went back to where her boyfriend is. I'm enjoying my lunch with Jake. We wrote letters to each other everyday.
Everything goes smoothly until one day, Chloe told me she saw Jake kissing Chelsea. I Hated her, ever since i'm 13, i already hated her. She copied my answer during exam at the age of 13. He blame me for copying hers. I got detention. She always get what she wants, guys, money, popularity.
I don't believe a thing Chloe said to me! So i went to call Jake. No answer. I was worried, i went to find Jake. And i saw him laughing with his friends. I run to where he was, "Chloe saw you kissing Chelsea just now. Explain that." I scold him with an angry face. "Nothing like that happen, baby." He explain. "Oh really?" "Yes, Baby. Chill" He hug me. I cried cause that was the best feeling ever. I trust him again.
"So, maybe Chloe just lied to me or she saw the wrong person." I whisper to myself. He kissed me. My first kiss was gone. Taken by Jake, my very first boyfriend ever. That was so sweet and i feel us getting closer.
I got back to my class, and Chloe shout my name "Kate!!! Where have you been?? I saw Jake with Chelsea again! This time, he put his arm around her waist!" "Nothing like that happen, Chloe. Nothing like that happen. I looked for Jake just now and told him what you saw. He said that nothing like that happen. So, Chloe, whatever you saw, wrong person." "But Kate! It's exactly Jake! I saw him! With Chelsea! Love is blind, Kate. Love is really blind. You're blind already, Kate. It's no use to explain."Chloe explain with anger.
Am I really blind? I really trust Jake. After school, i went looking for Jake. You will never believe what I saw. It's Chelsea! With Jake. They kissed. "Gotcha!"Said Chloe. "What Gotcha?" She hand me her phone with a picture of Jake kissing Chelsea she just captured.
So, Everything Chloe said was true. My heart sank that time. It's like a thousand of knifes stabbing on my heart. "Don't worry, Kate. I'll settle this."Said Chloe pulling my hands to where Jake and Chelsea was.
Chloe slapped Jake. Twice. "How dare you hurt Kate? What did she do to you? Why did you do that to her? two girlfriends at a time? Smart!"Said Chloe, clapping her hands. "Well, i can explain that.."Panicked Jake. "Explain, explain,explain. All you could say is explain. Shut up and kiss Chelsea already. Kate doesn't need a boyfriend like you!"Chloe scolded.
Jake hand me another letter, i cried. Tears landed on the ground. "Jake is so mine. Lay a hand on him and you're dead. Punk!"Said Chelsea. "Chill, Baby. I got this."Said Jake, calming Chelsea. Baby? Jake called me baby. "Why..?" I whisper to myself, crying. I ran to the bathroom, buried my hand on my face. I couldn't stop crying.
I open the letter Jake hand me just now,
I'm sorry. I'm moving to Canada tomorrow together with Chelsea.
I loved her. I loved you too. I know this is hurting but,
Chelsea got me first.
Please, Kate. Forgive me.
I cry even louder, this time, my heart totally crashed. It's like a piece of glass landing on the ground from the table. Chloe run into the toilet and pat on my shoulder. "Here.. just forget about him okay?"She handed me another letter.
"He is so useless.."I sobbed, opening the letter Chloe gave me.
Goodbye
Goodbye. Goodbye was all he wrote.
